Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FinlandThat the restaurant was closed, so you need to be aware before reserving the room in order to prepare where you will be having your breakfast.
Great location, the facilities were very well mantained, and clean. The cottages are great and simple for a weekend visit.

FinlandThe street lamps on the property are indeed very bright, which makes it hard to spot the northern lights. The sauna was rather old-fashioned & expensive.
The location was not too far from Rovaniemi, but a car was necessary to arrive at the hotel. The cabins were equipped with everything necessary: a little bathroom including soap & body wash, a mini kitchen consisting of a microwave, a kettle, a small fridge and a sink (we could have used plates/cutlery, but ok), and a big comfy bed next to a huge window (as in the pictures). The sauna was big and could be booked for 44€/45mins. The property is beautifully located right next to a river, in the middle of the woods with several (partially wheelchair accessible) hiking/snowshoe hiking paths.

United KingdomThere is no wifi in the building, we have to use the wifi in the reception which is not ideal for working while travelling. The location is quite far from the city, justifiable for the potential of seeing Northern lights, but would be helpful to have a pickup/drop-off service.
Worth the price. Saw the Northern lights from the hotel, amazing experiences. Love the campfire and that one husky sitting around. The breakfast is good as well.

United KingdomThe shower room door couldn't be closed , it's broken since we are there. Also the staff didn't communicate us ahead about thermal clothes that we need to wear before joining the Husky activities , that made our time waste and joining the tour late.
Nice panorama view. Expensive but worth to try once.

Lovely property, although it was a bit far from the city but the hotel provides daily shuttle service and it takes about 20-25 mins. And we kind enjoyed staying further out to immerse ourselves in the calm and serenity. The property is beautiful and looks magical when there is snow everywhere. Its right next to the river (which was frozen over) but provides beautiful views right outside your chalet. Breakfast was excellent, they even provided plenty Gluten-free vegan options for me. Special thanks to the staff who were very attentive - both kitchen and reception- they were very proactive to our needs.

United KingdomWe weren't aware the sauna would be an extra charge to use which was a disappointing find as this was not indicated on the booking.
Very very happy with our stay here! An amazing location with beautiful nature! We loved the panoramic cabin view over the forest (even saw reindeer go past our window). There are short nature walks on the resort too and even got to see the Northern lights from the property. We had a rental car which made everything easy, but I imagine it would be difficult without one as the resort is quite far out of town.

SpainI regret not having spent more time there.
The resort is close to Rovaniemi airport. The apartments are clean and include all amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The wall facing the forest is glass, so you can see the northern lights if they arrive. The food is tasty and the staff is charming.

IrelandI didn’t like that the transport connecting to the accommodation was quite poor. The accommodation has one shuttle bus per day that leaves at 10:30, and returns at 4:30 going to Rovaniemi town or Santa’s village- which is quite a commitment as if you want to leave later or earlier you must get a taxi that can cost up to €70.
In an absolutely stunning location, great sauna, lovely staff! Adorable & super warm wooden cabin accommodation! Great for hiking, embracing maturing, and wandering the surrounding area’s rivers, lakes and forests!

United StatesThe distance to Santa Village and to Rovaniemi means expensive taxis. It would be nice to offer regular shuttle to and from the resort as part of the cost in staying.
The entire atmosphere of being in the wilderness including the log cabin style buildings with rustic decorations. Also, the staff were very patient and helpful as I had a lot of questions about what activities were available and how to get back to Rovaniemi. I will likely stay here again if I'm ever travelling Lapland again.
